Originally, she did not feel nervous. However, as ti passed while she waited, she imagined the various scenes that she might have to face later and she gradually grew more tense. In these tis, even after the dating couples parents et the partners, several years may still exist between the first eting and the marriage.
During this period of ti, the matter of dating did not involve only the two within the couple, but it also involved testing between both sides of the families. Marriage never mattered simply between two people.
Gu Jin never spoke to her parents about Mu Mingchengs identity, in consideration for the lower status her family holds compared to the Mu family.
Once the couple joined their two families through their marriage, gossip will spread throughout the society. When that happens, the gossip will target Gu Jins family, the most vulnerable party, and it would place unimaginable, imasurable pressure on them.
As Gu Jin lead Mu Mingcheng towards the living room, calming herself down to the sound of his steady breathing, she grew irrationally angry. He should clearly be the nervous wreck here! What should she feel nervous about?
The family considered todays eting as a formal occasion, which every mber should attend. However, Gu Ling injured her foot so seriously, that she left for the hospital to recuperate, accompanied by Grandma Gu. Apart from the two of them, the mbers of the Gu Family sat together, tensed and waiting.
Upon entering the living room, cool air washed over Gu Jin, calming her frazzled nerves. With a shy smile on her face, she introduced him, Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Mu Mingcheng.
Professor Gu, Professor Li, Mu Mingcheng greeted with a gentle smile following Gu Jins introduction. This is my first visit, so Im not familiar with your preferences yet. Because of this, I hand-picked the gifts for you myself. I hope they suit your tastes.
His bodyguard proceeded to spread out the gift boxes of various sizes, so large and so small.
Seeing this, Gu Tengwho originally perched obediently towards the sidereleased a snort.
Gu Changshengs eyes casually flickered across the crowded floor, glanced briefly his daughter, and landed on the gentleman standing next to her.
Mingcheng. Mu Mingcheng.
No wonder the na sounded familiar to him. He knew the owner of this na personally.

Not only he knew, but his wife, Li Mingxia, also knew.
Mu Family ran a large business
a business large enough to frequently sponsor school research projects through donations. As important participants in so of these projects, Gu Changsheng and his wife had t Mu Mingcheng
the current head of the Mu Family
on several occasions.
In fact, Gu Changsheng and his wife most recently interacted with Mu Mingcheng only half a year ago. That ti, they praised Mu Mingcheng for accomplishing so much at such a young age.
Yet, now that this sa, young, and accomplished head of the Mu Family intended to beco his son-in-law, Gu Changshengs impression of him lowered.
Young and accomplished. In other words, calculating and superb ans. Unless Gu Jins character matched with Mu Mingchengs, Gu Changsheng feared that Mu Mingchengs character might suppress Gu Jins throughout their lives.
Mingcheng turns out to be Mr. Mu, Gu changsheng paused for several seconds, before asking, I never knew. How did Mr. Mu et my daughter?
Hearing this question, Gu Jin smiled at Mu Mingcheng and waited to see what he had to say. She knew that, if her parents heard the truth about her and Mu Mingchengs first eting, they would surely drive him out the front door with a broom.
Subsequently, she watched as Mu Mingcheng gazed at her affectionately and narrated a romantic love story.
In summary, Mu Mingcheng spoke about Gu Jins schools graduation ceremony, where he served as an award-presenter. He fell in love with Gu Jin
who served as Miss Etiquette
at first sight. After the ceremony that day, he fortuitously crossed paths with Gu Jin, who had accidentally twisted her ankle. Noticing her pain, he helped her limp to his car, with which he drove her back to her apartnt.

Gu Changsheng Stared at Mu Mingcheng suspiciously and abruptly asked, Mr. Mu, how old are you this year?
Twenty seven, Mu Mingchengs smiled politely, receiving no offence from the abrupt question.
Chet, Gu Teng whispered. Old man. As soon as he spoke those words, Li Mingxia shot him a disapproving glare, to which he reluctantly shut up.
Twenty seven Mr. Mu genuinely proved himself to be a capable man at such a young age. The way you assud control of Mu familys business is proof of that, Gu Changsheng glanced at Gu Jin again, hesitating.
However, my familys Xiao Jin only turned 20 years old this year. The age gap spans too widely for us to ignore. By age, Gu Changsheng actually ant the gap in the family backgrounds. The disparity between the families separated them too greatly. How could they protect Xiao Jin if anyone tried to bully her in the future?
